Welcome to Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China!
Foshan, a prefecture-level city situated in central Guangdong Province and the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta, is adjacent to Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR, east to Guangzhou and south to Zhongshan. As an important part of the “Guangzhou-Foshan Metropolitan Circle”, “Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing Economic Circle” and “Pearl River-West River Economic Belt”, the city is regarded as an advanced manufacturing base in China and an important manufacturing centre in Guangdong Province, leading the economic development of Guangdong Province. As a famous historical and cultural city, Foshan is among the four famous towns in China and acknowledged as Home of Ceramic Arts, Home of Martial Arts, Home of Cantonese Opera, A Famous City of Dragon Boat and Lion Dance, and the Origin of Cantonese Opera. It is not only the birthplace of Cantonese culture which is a branch of Lingnan culture, but also the place where Cantonese culture thrives and gets inherited.
Nanhai District, with an area of 1073.82 square kilometres, is one of the five administrative districts in Foshan city. With a resident population of 3.29 million, the district has a time-honored history and many celebrities. In Qin Dynasty (214 B.C.), the area was set as a prefecture. And it was changed into a county in the Sui Dynasty (A.D. 590). There are a large number of outstanding figures such as Kang Youwei, Chen Qizhen, Huang Feihong and Zhan Tianyou in the history of Nanhai. As the pioneering area under the reform and opening policy, Nanhai once created the “Nanhai Model” which facilitated the economic development of county by making the so-called “Six Wheels Spin together”. It has become one of the birthplaces of the domestic private economy, and one of the “Four Tigers” areas in Guangdong. There are many tourist attractions in the district including Xiqiao Mountain, Nanguo Peach Blossom Garden, Former Residence of Kang Youwei, Qian- deng Lake, and Dreamy Water Village, etc.
